Bills announce Damar Hamlin showing 'remarkable improvement,' appears to be 'neurologically intact'

18. Great news but what's unfortunate is that the general public will base their belief

that cpr is largely successful on this case and all of the successful ones they see on tv when the actual success of cpr survival is nowhere near even 50%, especially when not done in the hospital or by trained medical personnel. So Hamlin has been very successful, but his case is not the norm. Plus "survival" does not mean the person saved from dying will have the same quality of life or even anywhere near that. This is especially true of elderly adults, of which I am one, who stand a good chance of ending up being a potted plant in the hallway of a nursing home after cpr.
So it is good for more people to learn to do cpr properly, understanding that it is a physically exhausting process as well as being physically hard on the person getting cpr.
